ieee802154: Fix generation of random EUI-64 addresses.
Currently, ieee802154_random_extended_addr() has a 50% chance of generating a group (multicast) address, while this function is used for generating station addresses (which can't be group addresses) for interfaces that don't have a hardware-provided address. Also, in case get_random_bytes() generates the EUI-64 address 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 (extremely unlikely), which is an invalid address, ieee802154_random_extended_addr() reacts by changing it to 01:00:00:00:00:00:00:00, which is an invalid station address as well, as it is a group address. This patch changes the address generation procedure to grab eight random bytes, treat that as an EUI-64, and then clear the Group address bit and set the Locally Administered bit, which is in line with how eth_random_addr() generates random EUI-48s.
